Many healthcare providers think that they should keep the (CT) and not move on toward the (FAST)‚ but I think they should switch it because of the lower cost for patients‚ the accuracy capabilities‚ and has no limitations.

Software fusion is the combination of separate sets of CT and PET images into one study unit. A number of commercial packages have been established to suit this purpose. The packages normally have similar functions sets for visualization and fusion. The most common image fusion technique is manual setting of a single scan relative to another positioned in a 3- dimensional space‚ comprising of 9 free position adjustment parameters‚ each of them rotation in 3 directions and also size.

Cortical Bone Trajectory Screws for Middle Upper Thoracic: a Anatomico-Radiological Study Introduction Pedicle screw fixation system has been widely used in spinal surgery due to its biomechanical advantage in three-dimensional fixation and short-segment fixation. However‚ Complications such as screw loosening‚ pullout and broken‚ often lead to loss of surgical construct stability‚ particularly in patients with poor bone quality [1-4]. The cortical bone trajectory (CBT)[5] technique is a theoretical

I ’m going to inform you of the fundamentals‚ capabilities‚ and advancements of computed tomography‚ also known as CAT scan. This imaging modality requires the technologist to look at anatomy of a CT image in a totally different way than they are used to with general radiographs. Like MRI and Sonography‚ CT technologies create a cross-sectional

Body scans The body scan can identify abnormal body structures and organs. Throughout the body‚ a CT scan may indicate tumors or cysts; enlarged lymph nodes; abnormal collections of fluid‚ blood‚ or fat; and metastasis of cancer. Fractures or damage to soft tissues can be more easily seen on the sensitive images produced by CT scanning. Liver conditions‚ such

Computed Tomography (CT) scan involves the use of x-rays‚ a form of ionizing radiation‚ CT scan is used to detect and diagnose the presence and recurrence of tumors in human body and also provides the stage of a cancer. Several case studies have shown that CT scan can be effective in both colorectal cancer and lung cancer screening. Exposure to ionizing radiation is caused to increase the risk of cancer. Children may be at higher risk because usually children are more sensitive to radiation than
